LEVIN v. UNITED AIRLINES PART I
Trial court did not err in instructing jury to find that airport police had probable cause to arrest woman who sarcastically said she had a bomb in her luggage for making a false bomb "report" under Penal Code Sec. 148.1(a) merely if woman "stated" that a bomb had been placed regardless of intent of speaker or effect of words. False statements regarding bombs in airports are not protected by First Amendment. Trial court's failure to instruct jury to find whether plaintiff knew statement was false was not error where fact that plaintiff said she had a bomb was not controverted.
